Kwari Fire Outbreak: Gov. Abba Donates N100 million To  Affected Traders

Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf has on behalf of Kano State Government announced the donation of One Hundred Million Naira to the victims of fire inferno that gulfed some shops in the popular Kantin Kwari Textile market recently.

The Governor announced the donation when he led top government functionaries on a commiseration visit to the market today.

In a Press Statement by the Governor’s Spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa quoted Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf extending the state government’s commiseration to the affected businessmen whose shops were destroyed by the fire incident.

The Governor said the donation was not a compensation to the loss incurred in the inferno, rather it was meant to mitigate the effects of the damages to the affected traders.

Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf assured the intervention of Kano State Government in improving conducive atmosphere and ease of doing business in the market through installation of solar lights; rehabilitation of road network; construction of drainages and provision of motorized boreholes among others.

He implored management of the market to initiate programmes that will assist hundred of thousands of traders to conduct their daily businesses without hitches assuring that the State government would do all what it takes for Kano to maintain its status as the commercial nerve centre in Northern Nigeria and some West African countries.

Earlier, the Managing Director of Kantin Kwari Market Management Board, Alhaji Hamisu Sa’ad Dogon Nama said 29 shops were razed by the fire and appreciated the quick response of Operatives of the Fire Service and other kind-spirited who fought bravely to quell the spread of the fire to the neighboring buildings.

The chairman of the Market Elders Committee, Alhaji Sabu’u Bako thanked Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf for his concern to the plight of the affected traders and called on the governor’s help to solve some of the problems bedeviling smooth operations of the market.
